Brian,

Bellsouth/at&t haven't learned anything since my last excursion with 
bellsouth when they first started up their dsl.

I tried to access one of their pages, using firefox,  got this message:

================================
Internet Explorer Required

BellSouth FastAccess DSL Speed Optimization Tool

Please remember: This tool requires Internet Explorer 5.5 and up. Please 
download Internet Explorer from the following link:

Click here to download Internet Explorer

=================================

Where can one get service without running into this sort of aggravation? 
I presently use intrex.net, but I am paying 33 dollars more ( apx ) for 
what on the surface appears to be the same features as fast access extreme.
